Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
March 10, 2017
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A17D0321. TINA JONES v. GARY LEE JONES.
Tina Jones seeks discretionary review of the superior court’s final order that,
among other things, modifies child custody and parenting time. Under OCGA §
5-6-34 (a) (11), direct appeals are permitted from “[a]ll judgments or orders in child
custody cases awarding, refusing to change, or modifying child custody or holding
or declining to hold persons in contempt of such child custody judgment or orders.”
Thus, the order Tina seeks to appeal is directly appealable.
Under OCGA § 5-6-35 (j), this Court will grant a timely discretionary
application if the lower court’s order is subject to direct appeal. Accordingly, this
application is hereby GRANTED. Tina Jones shall have ten days from the date of
this order to file a notice of appeal with the superior court, if she has not already done
so. The clerk of the superior court is DIRECTED to include a copy of this order in
the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
